Broncos move up sitting at home idle.

That’s a huge jump for ‘Bama, so even though we think the Tide should be higher, it’s going in the right direction. But how do you explain LSU at #11, behind Ohio State and Florida, for example? And it’s still a bit of a puzzler to see Kansas ahead of South Florida.

At least Notre Dame isn’t getting any consideration.

And I’m not sure if it’s a mistake or an editorial comment, but at the link Tennessee gets listed as one of the teams that dropped out of the top 30 – twice.

This helps to prove that people who know anything about college football realize that BYU should be in the NC game. They would destroy most everyone. Would clearly be favored over any team that wouldn’t be to chicken to come play us in Provo!

Bloviation for the Dawgnation

“I didn’t know I got criticism,” Richt quipped, feigning incredulousness. “It’s just the nature of the beast. If you can’t take criticism, then you shouldn’t coach.” -- AJ-C, 7/21/15
